Over 125 bank branches to shut this week - see if your branch is on the list

Since February 2022, when major banking groups committed to a voluntary agreement to assess the impact of every closure, a total of 2,236 branches have either closed or announced plans to shut. This equates to an average of at least one closure per day, or eight per week.

The LINK initiative was established to review each closure and ensure vulnerable customers and small businesses are not left without access to essential banking services as the sector moves towards digital and cashless payments. When communities are left without a local bank branch, banking hubs or free-to-use ATMs are introduced to fill the gap.

Nick Quin, chief corporate affairs officer at ATM network LINK, said: "While more people choose to use contactless and digital payments, there are still millions who rely on and prefer to pay using cash. Alongside ATMs and Post Offices, banking hubs continue to help people and businesses to readily access and deposit cash. We recommended a further 15 banking hubs yesterday which will play a part in supporting access to cash across the UK."

Gareth Oakley, chief executive of Cash Access UK, added: "We're delighted to see the difference that banking hubs have made for communities across the UK. It's a clear reminder that while more people are choosing to bank digitally, cash and face-to-face services still remain essential for many.

"We have opened 212 hubs to date and are excited to continue rolling out these services in the communities that need them most. Customers can visit the hubs any day of the week for their everyday banking transactions and if you have a specific or more complex enquiry for your bank, a community banker will be there to help on the day they're in the hub."
